Go follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter (if you have Twitter, that is - if you don't, you can go sign up). Here is our Twitter page... http://twitter.com/csbg. And here are the Comics Should Be Good writers who are on Twitter (the links go to the person's Twitter account) - myself, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson, Sonia Harris Danielle Leigh, Melinda Beasi and Michelle Smith!
The blog's Twitter account updates whenever a new post is put up on the blog, so it's an easy way to keep up with the blog. In addition, I post new content on the blog's Twitter account. As an incentive to follow us, if we reach 2,000 followers, I'll do an extra edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed the week we hit 2,000. At 3,000 followers, I will do another Month of Greatest Stories Ever Told!
Now on to the bit!
So every week, I ask a question here. You reply to it on our Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply) and our SIX blog sketch artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post them here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the top six choices from the previous week.
To qualify, you have to be following us when you reply - so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (all suggestions due by 2:59 PM Eastern on Friday, December 17th): We're going to have a special edition of The Line It Is Drawn later next week, right before Christmas, and then we're taking a couple of weeks off (so our artists don't have to work over the holidays). Here's the topic for the next edition of The Line It Is Drawn, which will be next Thursday.
It's a special holiday edition of The Line It Is Drawn - Just name a holiday theme for a comic book character (Justice League caroling, Kitty Pryde lighting a menorah, that sort of thing)
Read on for the six sketches that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge:
Team-up/mash-up comic book characters with those from TV dramas.
Enjoy!
I'll put them in alphabetical order based on the name of the Twitter user who made the suggestion.

Brad Millette and Rafael Desquitado couldn't make it this week, so our super-sub Nick Perks is filling in for him! As always, thanks, Nick! You rule!

I just know that our pal BigMike20X6 is freaking out right now because he, too, suggested
Dexter meets the Joker
. I'm just messing with you, Mike, because Nick Perks also decided, just as a lark, to do that sketch, too. Since we were down two guys this week, I figured we might as well share Nick's drawing, even though Daniel already did it, as well.

Thanks so much to the artists and the suggestion-givers! Now everyone head off to Twitter and give the artists some good options for the next installment!
NOTE: If you wish to participate in the January Reader Art Gallery, you have a few days left to do so! The deadline to send your artwork (based on any of the previous The Line It Is Drawn topics, although I'd prefer you choose ones from November) to me at bcronin@comicbookresources.com is 6pm Eastern time on Thursday, January 13th! We received a lot of drawings last month - I'd like to see a bunch this month, too!
